Buongiorno Bambino Bambinas ! okay, as promised, here are my updates on my last weekend in Rome ….I’m in love with the City !
Friday Nite : Flew to Rome. Flight took about 1.5 hours …a bumpy one as we approached Rome as it was raining. We’re running like crazy to catch the last train (Leonardo Express) to the City ….journey took another half an hour ….luckily, the hotel is nearby the Termini Station …. It was a good one….newly refurbished ….so okay laa kan …. Terus membuta lepas freshen up everything ….
Saturday
Vatican City
It was pouring that morning. Luckily I brought the umbrella …..soonest as we arrived, Cameras out and photo shoot sessions ! …. Started at the St Peter Square…have to go through security check before entering the Vatican…. Amazed by all the sculptures and architectures by Michaelangelo, Bernini to name a few….Feels like in Angels & Demons Novel !

Vatican Museum
Huh….had to queue to buy the tickets…get ready for a 2 km queue for about 1.5 hours before you can reach the ticket counter …. That’s as earliest we can go after visiting the Vatican City …. This is where the famous Sistine Chapel is located …full of elaborate painting on the walls during the Baroque era in Rome…. Raphael, Michaelangelo and the gang had their hands on these paintings…. Again, gaping mouth of how their passion towards arts …..a very detail paintings …all the art works are priceless in that Museum … gee…I don’t know even Sotheby or Christie’s can evaluate their prices !

Spiral Steps to the Museum's Exit.
Castle St Angelo
Stopped by the Castle for some snaps …. Didn’t go inside as it was pouring and shoes are wet … so, we decided to go to the Pantheon ….
Castle St Angelo...the bridge crossing Tiber River.
Pantheon
The building with the largest Concrete Dome in the world…. Pretty amazing on how do they design it that time ….in front of the Pantheon is the one of the 13 Obelisks (statue for the sun god) brought by the Roman Emperor all the way from Egypt …. The funny thing is only 5 are left in Egypt nowadays…. Habis dia angkut gi bawak gi Rome…. Dah la besar giler ….

Piazza D’ Novona
Hmmm… this is where the fountains representing 4 corner of the worlds designed by Bernini…..sadly it was under restoration …lots of scaffoldings so, we didn’t manage to snap a good pics over there…. Just a few mini fountains on the side jek yg amik gambar….
One of the 3 Fountains.
Fontana D’ Trevi
My favourite spot ! I loved it ! grand giler giler the fountain with all the statues ! I just felt the calmness in the middle of the crowd watching the fountain while having my Italian Gelato …. Chocolate and Strawberry gelatos are to die for ! …. Yummy !
Fontana D' Trevi
Hard Rock Café Rome
Went to HRC to buy t-shirts and some mugs … cool place with lots of foreigners …. Be warned that the Metro service ends as early as 9 p.m on Saturday night …. Ayo …kena menapak lagi all the way back to the Hotel …which was about a gazillion blocks away from the HRC ! But it was worth the walks as we bumped into few gorgeous sites which was not listed as the main attractions ….
This is suppose to be me! not some lembaga okay ! gosh, really have to buy the tripod ...shobshob cap ayam pun cap ayam lah !
we found some concrete slab for the cameras ...okay la kan ?
To be Continued......(iklan 20 minit - cam dlm TV tuh)

yes u really need to get a tripod! sayang gambar2 night shots jadik shaky..
the best shot i think is the ceiling in the corridor at sistine chapel! such vibrant color!
yes ! agree with you, tripod's in my shopping list rite now ..unfortunately in Sistine Chapel they don't allow people to take photos .... ala ala the heart of the Vatican City ...it's where the Cardinals will meet up to choose who's gonna be the next pope...not the next ANTM okay ... ;P
